Troy6396
was the internet address of my first serious foray into building
and maintaining a web site. This was when Geocities was just Geocities,
before Yahoo removed the Athens neighborhood - and the stately address
of Troy6396 with it. Apocalypse Aerie, the main part of the site,
came from my lifelong interest in mythology and a decade-long pursuit
after information regarding our world's Great
Cycles.
During
this pursuit, the concept of pole
shifts raised it's ungainly head often, yet it took years to
come across anything concrete on the subject. Edgar Cayce mentioned
them, but after writing to the Cayce Foundation, I was informed
they couldn't supply me with any further information. After finding
Hapgood's work, it didn't take long for Graham Hancock's 'Fingerprints
of the Gods' to come out. This was followed by an orgy of reading,
memorable quotations of which I have included in the adjoining pages.
I
don't like the concept of pole shifts. I don't like the idea of
large-scale destruction, urban or otherwise. I am neither an anarchist
or nihilist, I cherish yet abhor the civilization we live in, and
thank my stars that I was born into it, at this time.

Yet
something inside me, since I was a boy, said that one should be
prepared for an eventuality that may bring sudden change to the
world as we know it, one day. It was something to do with staying
aware, being alive, living, fit and learning for all its worth while
its worth anything.
The
title became Apocalypse Aerie. This was to me the place from where
we can view the possibilities of the future by listening to the
vast echoes
of the past - a point out of time we need only climb if we wish
to look beyond the fuzzy reality we have been taught
to accept. I hope with all my being that the ancient
warnings were merely a form of myth-backed transmillennial anxiety.
I would like to think that the cataclysmic
myths are inaccurate translations or exagerations of minor,
localised events. I like to think that the earth does not react
in sudden, violent ways in accordance with its own and the solar
system's cycles.
I
would like to see us build our future upon what the great minds
behind our civilizations originally intended. I would like to see
us and the planet we live in prosper for the future of the generations
that arrive now, and the many more that will follow. I would like
us to look to the stars.
I
would like that. But I publish these pages herewith, perhaps only
as a reminder of how good we have it now, but also to serve as reference
for those who have come across similar theories, and wish to share
their knowledge in their own way.
You can always leave your thoughts or read those of others in the
guestbook - or drop me an e-mail.
That's
all for now - already more than enough. Without any further ado,
I now wish to formally present a most distinguished personality,
who can best prepare us for the journey towards Apocalypse Aerie,
the eminent soul Albert
